Most people who want to start dropshipping stall at the same place: they don't want to pay a monthly platform fee before making a single sale. This course builds the whole store on WordPress instead — WooCommerce installed, theme configured, products imported from CJ Dropshipping, PayPal connected, and an order tracking page live by the end.
Everything is done through the WordPress dashboard with free plugins, so there's no code at any point and no monthly platform subscription. You will still need your own domain and hosting, and products are paid for as orders come in — the plugins are what's free here, not the business itself.
17 lessons, start to finish, no programming experience required.
